The fact that you're now seeking to find just the right therapist for yourself tells me you've already begun the process of confronting your personal obstacles. As a therapist, one of the first things I do-—collaboratively-—is to help you more concretely define the specific goals you wish to achieve. I then shape my interventions to help you locate the strengths and understandings that, further developed, will most efficiently enable you to accomplish this. The goals themselves might relate to solving a particular problem; improving, or changing, your relationship; healing from past psychological wounds; or perhaps improving your self-image generally.

NOT accepting new clients on waitlist until June 2023. I believe that good therapy involves a combination of a supportive and warm relationship plus science-based therapeutic techniques. Within this framework I consider each person’s unique situation, neurodiversity, and set of problems and then tailor my approach to you or your child’s needs. Therapy should be a collaborative process, and I try to bring a sense of humor and fun to my work with you or your family.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in couple relationship issues and have many years of extensive training and direct experience working with individuals and couples in their emotional pain. I primarily work with distressed individuals and couples using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT is an evidence-based treatment that focuses on identifying and changing ineffective interactive patterns, understanding how partners get triggered by each other's responses, identifying unmet needs, and helping both partners access vulnerable/difficult emotions that are usually underlying their frustration and anger.

I am a Certified EMDR trauma therapist and am passionate about helping people let go of the pain of the past, live more fully in the present and develop hope for the future. When you've grown up in a chaotic, dysfunctional or neglectful household it can be really hard to move beyond your past without help. This is especially true if you struggle with any kind of dissociation. Its' not that your weak or unwilling, it's that you don't yet have the tools and the help to do so. As an intersectional feminist, I recognize and will respect all aspects of your identity and work to minimize any effects of my privilege on the therapy.

Asking for help is often tough, especially for us as men. Who do you turn to in times of crisis or confusion? We are socialized to be independent and "do it myself." However, there are times where we all need some help. Someone to talk to that won't judge us or ridicule us. One of the most difficult things to do is to make that first phone call to someone you don't know, asking for help. You just hope to get someone trustworthy, compassionate and competent. These are my strongest traits, and I welcome your call today.

Hello, my name is Tanya. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and I'm passionate about helping ambitious, highly sensitive women learn how to stop saying "yes" when they mean "no", set boundaries in a loving, aligned way, claim their true desires, voice, self-expression, and step into their own leadership. My practice focuses on supporting women like you through struggles with saying "no" in certain situations, feeling like there are "ghosts from the past" cluttering your mind & life, anxiety, trouble living out your dreams & making decisions and choices that align with your values, i.e. living your truth.

There comes a time in our lives when we feel stuck; sometimes devastating loss can overwhelm us. It may manifest as physical symptoms, anxiety, or relationship distress. This is the moment for therapy.

You may feel stuck, anxious, depressed, or hopeless. However, just the courage to take the first step in knowing you want to experience your life differently takes strength. I work with my clients to expand that strength in a safe environment. When struggling with a family or friend relationship, or when experiencing increased stress from some changing circumstances in life, often unhealed issues start to surface. Now we really need support. These times are actually the ones where the most healing can occur.

Selecting a therapist to trust can be daunting. As in any relationship, there must be a good match on many levels. New clients often ask me, "What is your technique?" In my twenty-five plus years of experience, I have learned not to apply a blueprint of "one-size fits all," but to focus upon the particular problems, and stressors that have brought you to seek help. My clients have expressed appreciation for my pro-active style; I am compassionate but not passive during sessions. My training in both hypnosis and mindfulness has given me unique tools to help my clients when appropriate.

Life is full of uncertainty, stressors, changes, and challenges and at times these issues weigh heavy on us. Sometimes our traditional coping, resources, and knowledge are not enough to help us manage the increase in worry, distress, sadness, or relationship conflict. We may feel drained, tired, and alone, no matter how resilient or strong we are. Sometimes we experience traumatic situations that are confusing, paralyzing, and terrifying and we no longer feel safe or understand our emotional response. Any of these experiences can be overwhelming, but a supportive therapeutic relationship can be helpful at these moments.

Through my experience in working with children, adolescents and their families, I have found that the most effective way to provide treatment is to do so in a non-judgmental, caring and warm environment. I use various modalities to work with the whole family unit and not just the child in dealing with the child's behavior and diagnosis. This eclectic approach to treatment include: CBT, EMDR, Love & Logic, Mindfulness, Creative Therapy, Parent Training and Play Therapy. Every child is unique and therefore, every treatment approach is specialized for that child’s unique experience.
